Hello Scott,

have you seen the schedule at https://gcc16.sched.org/ ?

The trainings are all listed, described, and categorized there, it should help you decide what to attend.

From my experience in addition to scientists there are many admins and developers attending the conference so you should be able to find your flock easily.

Plus we are all nice. :)

Best,

Martin

Hi all,

I know this is not a technical question per se, but this seems my best option for getting better information.

I am planning on attending the Galaxy Conference this year. I administrate the Galaxy server for VectorBase (vectorbase.org), but I'm a computer scientist, not a bioinformatics specialist. I'm uncertain what would be the most informative things for me to attend... for instance, I see there is a training day 1 and 2, but there's no real description on the site of what those are. If someone could offer some guidance, I would be most appreciative.

Also, would the conference days be useful for someone in my position?

Thanks!
